ATLANTIC CITY - An Atlantic City casino that went out of business two years ago is once again welcoming guests after reopening as a hotel.

The Showboat reopened to guests on Friday with 852 hotel rooms and suites. The building will keep the Showboat name, but no longer offer casino games.

The reopening comes as union workers at the Trump Taj Mahal next door enter the second week of a strike. Workers from Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union continue round-the-clock picketing of that casino.
